Chapter 23 Unannounced visits to brothels

"Li Lang, sit down."

"Yeah, don't stand there stupidly. What do you want to eat? I'll feed you."

I trembled all over: "No... no need."

"Come, let's have a glass of wine first."

"No...don't bother..." I declined, but how could I resist the entanglement of the two of them. One of them was holding my head, and the other had poured wine into my mouth.

"Li Lang is so generous."

"Cough cough cough." I was so nervous that I burst into tears.

"Hey, hey, how are you taking care of me?" Mrs. Mu slapped the table and yelled in a false voice.

When the two women saw her getting angry, they immediately became frightened and stood aside politely.

"Here, take it and get out!" Madam Mu was indeed generous and threw out two ingots of silver boldly: "Go out and don't disturb me and my friends while we have a drink. Fendai will take care of you."

"Yes." The two women replied, picked up the silver on the ground, and walked out, not forgetting to close the door.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised my sleeves and wiped my sweat, still a little shaken.

"Are you okay? Look at you! You are a guest, and they all have to listen to you. Why do they suffer so much?" Madam Mu said with disdain, using a fan to fan me.

"Hahaha, Li Lang is a gentleman at first glance. You, a girl, are not ashamed to come to a place like this." Fendai covered her mouth and smiled, took the fan from her hand, and started fanning for me.

I was startled and looked at Madam Mu in surprise. What she just said had changed back to a female voice, and Fendai also knew that she was a female?

"Do as the Romans do. You have to learn to change your identity on different occasions. I am a prostitute now, so of course I am a prostitute, right? A beauty?" Madam Mu smiled lustfully and pounced on Fendai again.

"Okay, don't make trouble, haha." Fendai pushed her away: "I have something to talk about. What do you want to ask?"

After laughing enough, Madam Mu finally sat down, picked up a chicken leg and started to chew on it: "I'm starving, let's eat something first, and I'll ask again later. Hey, Li Jianghu, why are you still standing there? Why don't you eat?

Employ people to teach?”

"Oh." I smiled shyly, looking at the table full of chicken, duck and fish, I didn't know what to eat first.

"Li Lang is free. This is peach blossom wine. It is sent from Qianbei Wujiu Restaurant. It is the same as the wine in Mu Niangzi's shop. This roast chicken is also made in imitation of Mu Niangzi's shop. Li Lang has a try to see the taste.

How about this? There are also steamed pork, elbow, seabass, mutton..."

"Okay, Fendai, don't tell him, otherwise he will get nervous again. You can sit down and eat together."

Fendai stopped talking and sat down opposite Madam Mu.

"Three people have died in a row recently. What they have in common is that they drank wine at your Wanhua Building before they died. They suffocated, drowned, and fell to death. They were all accidents. The first person died at home, and the last two died at home.

On the way." After Mrs. Mu finished chewing the chicken drumstick, she grabbed an elbow and gnawed it, her mouth full of oil and she said.

"Do you suspect that it was not an accident?" Fendai ate her food and her expression became serious.

"One time is reasonable, but two or three times is a bit far-fetched. But all the evidence showed that it was an accident, so Magistrate Xu made his decision. My brother said that the imperial envoy also learned about this and felt that something was fishy, ​​but again

It's inconvenient to come here to investigate. So, I can only take the opportunity to listen to my sister's music to see if I can find any clues, and it won't be in vain for me to eat and drink at my brother-in-law's house every day."

I immersed myself in the food and didn't dare to say anything, for fear of accidentally saying something I shouldn't have said. Mrs. Mu was really smart. She came to investigate because she wanted to clear herself of suspicion, but she pulled her brother and the imperial envoy out.

This was equivalent to official business. Even if Fendai didn't know her before, she wouldn't dare not give her face.

"The land of fireworks is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. People who come here are just looking for fun. Some people are not happy with themselves, so they will take out their anger on lower-class women like us. But we can only endure it and just

To be able to live." Fendai said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"You mean? Someone abused you?"

Fendai smiled with tears in her eyes: "Don't you think, sister, that those people deserve to die? You know? These days, the sisters in the building are so happy to know that those bastards are dead. We feel that someone must be standing up for us.

.My sister is extremely smart, but do you know who this person could be?"

I secretly glanced at Madam Mu and saw her smiling faintly, her greasy red lips slightly raised: "Fairy Baiyun."

"Fairy Baiyun?" Fendai and I said in unison.

"Sister Fendai doesn't know, haven't you heard of Li Jianghu? Doesn't Mr. Fang often tell stories about her in storytellers?" Madam Mu asked doubtfully.

"I've heard of it." I swallowed: "But isn't that a story circulating in the world? It is said that Fairy Baiyun has always been elusive. Four years ago, the flower-picking thief Hua Butterfly died in her hands. Now, could it be that

Has she come to Xiangzhou City again?"

"We'll find out later, won't we?" Madam Mu took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her mouth.

I took a closer look, and yes, it was another ice silk handkerchief. I really don’t know how many handkerchiefs she had of the same style. In that case, she lost it last time, so why was she so grateful when the poor grandma picked it up?

Fendai's face became solemn: "You mean: Someone else will die tonight?"

"Aunt Xue, Aunt Xue... I don't want..." A woman downstairs shouted miserably.

"What do you mean? Are you still doing business? I have money!" a man yelled rudely.

"Calm down your anger and let's do it. Haha, you can come, my place is full of glory. Haha, it's just that the little ladies here are all tender-skinned and tender. Please be a little... gentler." Aunt Xue said.

The voice was full of helplessness, thinking that he had encountered a difficult master.

"I need you to teach me? It's up to you. Let's go upstairs!"



Fendai opened the door a crack and her face became even more ugly: "That Qin Rakshasa is here again, and Chunhong is afraid that she will suffer again. If Fairy Baiyun is really here and wants to fight for us, I hope her target tonight will be him.

.”

This was the first time I saw someone so blatantly expecting others to be killed, so I couldn't help but ask: "Who is Qin Luosha?"

Fendai closed the door and gritted her teeth and said: "A pervert, a complete beast. He has physical problems and can't do things between men and women, so he only vents his anger on us. He comes here every few days to feed himself.

When he's drunk enough, he'll mercilessly destroy us."

"It's not that he can't...uh..." I spoke quickly again. Halfway through my words, I realized that Mrs. Mu was still there and quickly swallowed the rest of my words.

"That's why I say he's a pervert. What kind of sticks and stones... who knows what he brought? He also knows some kung fu, and his weapon is a whip. He likes to listen to women screaming and wailing, and he will humiliate her first every time.

Then he would whip her. Every time the woman he fell in love with would not be able to get out of bed for several days. He is very rich, so Aunt Xue could only persuade her, and she would not offend his money tree for our sake."

"Don't worry, he will die tonight." Madam Mu patted Fendai on the shoulder and consoled her.

"Ah..." Screams and cries came intermittently from upstairs. However, in a place like this, who would help her.

I looked at Mrs. Mu pleadingly. If she came forward and brought out her brother and the imperial envoy, the screaming woman might be able to get rid of her nightmare.

However, Mrs. Mu was waving her fan leisurely, thinking about her thoughts, and realized that I was looking at her. She smiled at me and said, "Eat quickly? There will be an autopsy later. Do you want to eat after touching a dead person?"

"You...are you sure he will die?" I looked at her nervously. Could she really be as good at martial arts as Xiao Mu said? If so, you can go upstairs and kill that bastard. Otherwise, just do this.

Are you waiting for the so-called Baiyun Fairy?

"ah!"

"ah!"

The screams outside the house became louder, as if they were coming from several women at the same time, and then there was only a "bang" sound, as if something heavy fell to the ground.

"Dead...dead!" Another woman shouted.

"Hurry...you...go and report to the official!" Aunt Xue's voice was very harsh.

My heart trembled and I quickly looked towards Mrs. Mu.

"What are you looking at me for? I've been sitting here all the time." Madam Mu spread her hands and said with an innocent look on her face, then she smiled faintly: "Have you eaten? Let's go out and take a look to see if it's dead.

Is he that bastard?”

Fendai's room was on the second floor, and the screams of the woman being whipped just now came from the third floor. When we went out, we saw that many people had gathered on the first floor, and one person in the middle was lying on the ground, his flesh and blood already mutilated.

"Let's go down." Mrs. Mu smiled.

When we got down to the first floor, we saw all the women whispering and talking about something. Everyone stood on tiptoe and looked forward, but they didn't dare to get too close.

I only smelled a strong smell of blood that filled the entire hall. On the stage where the singing and dancing had been held, there were still pipa and harp strewn all over the place. When I looked up, I saw that the guardrail on the third floor had also been broken. It was obvious that someone had broken it.

Pushed him down.

Falling from a building?

The reason for such a cruel person to suddenly commit suicide by jumping off a building is too far-fetched.

"What's going on?" came a familiar voice.

I looked for the reputation, and the person who came in was actually Long Yuhan, followed by eight people. He must have been on duty tonight, and the boy from the brothel was going to the county government to report a crime. I ran into him first, so he was called.

It is the common people's obligation to report a murder to the official immediately. As for who to report to, few people think carefully about it.

Originally, all major and minor matters in Xiangzhou City should be managed by County Magistrate Xu. If Magistrate Xu could not handle them, he would report them to the Governor's Office.

The Sky Eye Team is an elite police force affiliated to the governor's office, and its status is of course much higher than that of the county government's police officers. What's more, it is said that the Sky Eye Team is directly handed over to the Imperial Envoy for deployment. This status is naturally unmatched by anyone.

I'm afraid that Magistrate Xu will arrive soon and he will have to say hello to Long Yuhan when he sees him.

"He...he suddenly fell down. Oops, I was scared to death." Aunt Xue's voice was still trembling, and everyone moved out of the way.

"Falled down?" Long Yuhan's handsome face was still cold. He looked up at the incomplete guardrail on the third floor: "Did you see that he jumped down by himself?"

"When we see an injustice on the road, we draw our swords to help. How can we let such a bastard live in the world again?"

Unexpectedly, a woman's voice sounded from the third floor.

I also looked with everyone, and saw a woman in a white shirt and skirt standing in the gap on the third floor. She wore a white gauze hat on her head, and her face could not be seen clearly, and the sword in her hand was even more...

It dazzled people under the light.
